Car Won't Start! - Seeking Advice!

[shorod]

I'm glad to hear you got the car running. Thank you for posting a follow-up. I don't suppose that you replaced one part at a time to actually figure out what it took to get it started, did you?

If you plan to let it sit for long periods of time again, that would be a good time to take advantage of the trickle charger you recently purchased.

Rod,

Well, that was the problem. Since my battery wasn't good (in order to test) it was hard to know what part/s actually were causing the issue. It could have been a combination of things and each part I replaced wasn't expensive so I figured why not? I actually plan to drive it on a regular basis because it has less mileage than my main car. It's always good to have a spare vehicle anyway so I can slowly work on the others.

IKR!

Well, there were obviously some issues at first, but after I replaced most of the major parts it's fine. I really think it boiled down to a leaking fuel injector and bad valve gasket. It was a mess inside the valve cover and all the plugs were garbage.

It was a fun little project! I'm proud of myself that I actually fixed it.
